The Bundesliga champions got off to a winning start
against Borussia Monchengladbach but the 45-year-old has warned that the
Spanish coach will need more time to adapt
Bayern Munich sporting director Matthias Sammer insists
that Pep Guardiola "is not a magician" and will need time to adapt to
his new surroundings.
Expectations at the Bavarians are sky-high following the
42-year-old's arrival this summer on the back of the club's treble-winning
campaign of 2012-13, but Sammer feels people cannot expect Guardiola to
replicate such success straight away.
"Jupp Heynckes did not win anything in his first
year at Bayern Munich. Jupp is a superb trainer, no doubt about that, but he
needed a bit of time as well," Sammer told Sky.
"Now everybody says Pep Guardiola doesn't need any
time to adapt and this is something I cannot understand.
"We have a new coach, who will need time to get used
to his players, tactical formation and the board of directors.
"He is not a magician. He works hard, talks a lot
with the players and does so in German. The fact that there's a big hype
surrounding him and that he won everything he could win at Barcelona counts for
nothing now."
Guardiola guided Bayern to a 3-1 win over Borussia
Monchengladbach in his Bundesliga debut on Friday.
